System Turf FAQs

Have questions? This is a short list of our most frequently asked questions about artificial turf. For more information, please call 877-728-3778.

• What is the square footage price of System Turf?

  Our custom installed product cannot realistically be quoted by the square foot. Each lawn is different and System Pavers prices out each project individually based on turf type, required ground preparation, size, and numerous other factors. That is why we're happy to offer a FREE no-obligation Design Consultation so our experts can provide exact pricing for your landscaping project.

• Does System Pavers offer financing on turf projects?

  System Pavers offers a variety of financing options to fit your budget, including a deferred payment plan! Visit our financing page at systempavers.com/finance to learn more.

• What is System Turf actually made from?

  System Turf offered by System Pavers is a blend of polyethylene monofilament and thatch with acrylic coated antimicrobial infill. This is the best quality turf for residential installations and offers decades of a lush, natural grass appearance minus the regular maintenance. For installation, we start with a layer of compacted road base (much like pavers), then lay the polyethylene monofilament and thatch blades with our infill system.

• Is artificial turf safe for pets?

  Specifically designed with pets in mind, our synthetic turf is PFAS-free and very pet friendly. Because ours are always installed with proper drainage, our turf lawns allow liquids to filter right through. Much like regular grass, droppings can easily be picked up or washed away with a hose. An added benefit is that artificial turf is dig-proof, so muddy paw prints will be a thing of the past.

• Why choose artificial turf for my lawn?

  An artificial turf lawn made from System Turf will give you healthy looking, green grass without the costly and tiresome maintenance of landscaping upkeep. Say goodbye to weeding, mowing, fading, edging, fertilizing, chemicals, pet damage, pests, allergies and muddy paw prints… not to mention, it’s eco-friendly, helping you save on water.

• Can I get a rebate on my water bill for having artificial turf?

  Check with your water district for more information, but in some places, such as parts of southern California or Nevada, residents may be eligible for water rebates if they have synthetic turf installed.

• There are several companies selling artificial turf. Why should I choose System Turf?

  System Turf is one of the best and safest turf products on the market and is free of PFAS (forever chemicals), heavy metals such as lead and other toxic materials. System Turf also comes with a limited 15-year manufacturer warranty*. We ensure you get the same quality of product and service with our turf as you do with our pavers. As one of the few turf companies that can offer you a complete outdoor living system of both hardscape products and turf, you can save time and hassle by using System Pavers as your one-stop outdoor remodeling shop!

• How well does it drain?

  Better than real grass! Our lawns have specially designed drainage holes placed consistently throughout the turf to ensure water sheds quickly and efficiently and does not pool on the surface.

• Is it important to work with a company that has a Contractor's License?

  When you contract to have work performed on your home, remember that to do any project that totals over $500, a company must have a valid Contractor’s License. They are required to include this number on any materials used to market their work, on their contracts, etc. By using a licensed contractor, you are assured they are covered by the necessary bonding, insurance, and worker's compensation to protect you, the homeowner. Without a license, you become liable. System Pavers is licensed and bonded in every location we service.

• Why doesn't it fade?

  System Turf has a built-in UV protection solution that allows it to maintain color even under the most dramatic climate conditions.

• Does turf mildew?

  Due to our artificial turf's extremely porous design, mold and mildew are never a problem.

• How long does it take to install?

  An average landscaping area might take two to three days. Each installation is customized, so it is sometimes hard to determine this without a site visit. For a better idea, call for a FREE Design Consultation today!

• Will the infill harm my children or pets?

  Our infill is non-toxic and antimicrobial and will in no way harm either children or pets, if swallowed. Additionally, our infill is one of the only products that will prevent bacteria and germs from incubating in your turf.

• How do you get leaves and debris out of artificial turf?

  There are special rakes designed for turf. A leaf blower would also do the job.

• Is artificial turf a good choice for families with kids?

  Kids love turf! System Turf is softer and safer than real grass and more fun for playing on. Grownups love that it won't stain pants, scrape knees, and can help minimize grass allergy issues. And, because our infill is made of antimicrobial acrylic coated infill and not ground rubber (unlike many other company's turf products) it is more resistant to heat absorption.

• How long does an System Turf last?

  Since turf of this quality is an emerging technology, we do not know the exact answer as to its longevity. System Turf is expected to have a 20-30 year life expectancy.

• What about rabbits, rodents, and bugs?

  Say goodbye to pesky critters! A System Turf lawn can help eliminate troubles with rabbits, rodents, and bugs. This is because they can no longer ruin your lawn by eating your grass. And best of all, your new lawn will be safer for people and animals because you will no longer need to apply pesticides.

• What kind of maintenance does an artificial turf lawn require?

  More a matter of keeping clean than maintaining…remove organic materials from the surface, typically by using a leaf blower. Plastic rakes may be required for removing heavier objects. However, a leaf blower is the ideal tool for general upkeep. A stiff, natural bristle broom can be used to "fluff" high traffic areas.

• What about the warranty?

  A 15-year warranty from the date of completed installation against defects in materials, including UV degradation and excessive fading. System Pavers also offers a 10-Year Workmanship Warranty. (See a representative for further details.)

• Will weeds grow through it?

  Weeds cannot grow through our tough turf backing. On rare occasions, you may see some popping up along a border. No worries…simply pull them or spray some non-toxic weed killer on them and they’ll be history!
